CRIME PROBLEM
SOLUTION BY WOMEN POSSIBLE. The Women of America could by united effort solve the crime problem “overnight,’'’ said Mr J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Federal Bureau of Crime Investigation, in addressing the representatives of 2,000,000 club women at their convention in Kansas City. Mr Hoover suggested two ways in which women might cut crime toll to. a minimum. They could make law enforcement agencies active and effective through an “aroused public consciousness,” and they could provide home training which would keep young persons out of criminal ways. “The real sufferers,” Mr Hoover said, “are the mothers of the land, and at the same time they must accept the formidable responsibility. In the last year, 18 per cent of the persons arrested were under 21 years old. These youths are the living examples of neglected home training, and the failure of society properly to meet its obligations to the younger generation.”
